Lee Young era el hermano de Lester (Prez)
Paradójicamente Lee Young de viejo no podía leer. Bah, dicen...
Era amigo de Kim Il Yung.
Hey Oscar. Is there a surefire way I can actually listen to some of the music you put on your blog. My computer won't play any of the files because they're all in RAM or something.
I didn't even know the great Lester Young had a brother by the way. Can't wait to see how he plays those drums. I just love Prez's smooth, creamy way of playing that tenor sax.
Hi Roberto,
the best program to listen RAM files (among others formats including video) is Real Alternative, it´s free, very small and very good "alternative" to Real Player. You can download it clicking here.
Lee Young died in 2008 at 94 (click here) and in the Art Pepper´s autobiography "Straight life" © 1979 Schirmer Books Lee Young speaking about the controversy "West Coast jazz", page 46 he said "...Music is music. Either you can play or you cannot play. And I´ve found that music is an international language. One of the best bands I ever heard was a band in Buenos Aires, Argentina."
By the way, in that band (basically Bubby Lavecchia´s band plus strings) that accompanied Nat King Cole in Buenos Aires in 1959 played Hugo Pierre (alto sax and clarinet player) a very good friend of mine that is very proud about that remark.
Cheers!
Hugo Pierre is the Johnny Hodges of the underdevelopment. Fabulous sound, great technique.
